| Summary | "The Development of Metaphysics in Persia" by Sir Muhammad Iqbal is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work explores the evolution of metaphysical thought in Persia, tracing its roots from pre-Islamic times through the Islamic period and into later philosophical developments. Iqbal examines the interplay between Persian philosophy and various influences such as Zoroastrianism, Greek thought, and Islamic mysticism, aiming to provide a comprehensive overview of Persian metaphysical traditions. At the start of the text, Iqbal reflects on the unique characteristics of Persian philosophical thought, particularly its love for metaphysical speculation despite lacking comprehensive systems of ideas akin to Western philosophers. He discusses the dualistic tendencies in Persian thought, notably through figures such as Zoroaster and the implications of his teachings on good and evil. Additionally, Iqbal emphasizes the importance of understanding metaphysics within the context of Persian culture, setting the stage for further exploration of various key thinkers and schools of thought that shaped Persian metaphysical discourse.
